Hey, Where Are The Chocolate Chips In My Klondike
Bar?

There’s a new flavor of Klondike Bar on the block: mint chocolate chip. That’s wonderful news for fans of mint chocolate chip ice cream, but also slightly confusing. Because there aren’t actually any chocolate chips in the bars, even though they’re pictured on the package and their ingredients listed on the product’s ingredients list. Where did they go?

While doing some shopping the other day I noticed a new flavor of Klondike Bar, Mint Chocolate Chip:

It looked pretty good, so I picked up a package. Later when I had one, it seemed to me that something was missing. See if you can spot the difference between the picture on the box and the actual product:

Yes, it’s a Klondike and yes, there’s mint ice cream, but it seems that the chips have gotten lost somewhere….

So chips are in the name, they’re in the product picture on the package, and they’re also on the ingredient list on the product’s web page. Right at the end, it says:

I like them. I feel for their size/calories, they aren’t really worth it, I’d rather just have some Ben & Jerry’s. But I’ve had far worse ice cream items like this (or frozen dairy treats for Nestle, ugh).

But there *are* little bits of (presumably) chocolate in the green ice cream, right there in the picture. I mean, they’re not big, but we as consumers should be used to “enhanced” package illustrations by now. And it’s not like the box showed big juicy semisweet chips.

Errr… all the OP has to do is call up the 800 number on the package, read out the lot number, and he/she will get coupons for a free replacement(s). Food companies are always really eager to hear from consumers so they can figure out what went wrong.
